that sounds nice. ^_^

See at end of script, that would be my idea.

That looks like it'd work everywhere where ruby is installed (and
that stuff compiles that is).
I'm surprised though that it's so hard to install that stuff... Arent
there gems for dbi?

Just lumped together, but that might just work. :)
Where of course the 'gem install' for postgres would be ruby-postgres,
and that would not compatible with the "--with="... maybe you have a
better idea looking at this. Make people install the gems manually?
Or.. make the script ruby which then could be better adapted, my bash
scripting foo is like non-existant. ;)
